Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 96 Avalanche
Christmas morning came as expected, and Thom stretched and straightened up from the office chair where he had fallen asleep on the desk last night, rubbing his sore shoulders.

"Good morning." He murmured to the pot of hibiscus flowers, then looked at the clock on the wall, it was eight o'clock in the morning, not too early.

His appointment with Ash was at nine o'clock.

Speaking of which, today is also Christmas... He looked at the presents brought by the owls and smiled, and opened them after he came back. After all, there was an appointment in the morning.

He stood in front of the mirror and put on his robe, then took a good wash, and wiped his gold-rimmed glasses along the way.

I should also bring Ash a gift... Som thought about picking something from his flower stand, and a pot of light blue flowers caught his attention. Let this pot be it, he thought about taking it down .

This is a pot of blue snowflakes, these Muggle plants are always beautiful, Thom smiled gently, and then tied the bow tie a little formally.

He returned to his polite and gentle demeanor.

"Good morning! Professor Som!" A female student smiled at Som, then looked suspiciously at the potted flower in his hand.

"Merry Christmas." He smiled at the girl and waved casually.

Within a few minutes, he arrived at the door of Ash's office, straightened his clothes, and knocked lightly on the door.

…………

"Found it!" Binns' voice was slightly hoarse, and he found the Florens family's among the tens of thousands of family crests.

Green flowers, that's it!That makes sense!This stone slab comes from the ruins discovered by the Florens family!The ruins of that northern Scotland!His right hand trembled slightly, he didn't expect the legend to be true...

He picked up the book in surprise, and he is going to find Embers now... He can't wait, can't wait to share this joy with him!

If the ruins can really be found again, then the two of them are likely to leave a strong mark in the history of magic!This reminded Binns of his long-lost exploration heart!
…………

"Voka? Are you going to see Professor Embers?" asked a pink-haired girl in the hallway, looking a little surprised.

"Yes, Professor Embers will sign for me, so that we can go to Hogsmeade together!" Voka held up the note in his hand, "Wait for me a little longer, Senior Tonks."

"Okay, okay." Tonks made an OK gesture, and she chewed her gum and made a squeaky sound, matching that weird hair, not to mention, she was a fashionista of the times.

Walka smiled slightly, then trotted towards Ash's office, she was still waiting for a cup of butterbeer in Hogsmeade's bar at noon!

…………

"Embers?" Thom called suspiciously. He had knocked on the door several times, but there was no response from inside. "Embers?" He shouted again, and subconsciously pushed the door of the office.

"Squeak..." There was a gap in the door, and Som could see the silence inside.

Strange... He pushed the door open suspiciously, the chairs in front of the table were empty, and there was no trace of Ash, but the stove was burning hot, Ash should have been here just now.

are you out?Som thought about walking in. He carefully placed the potted flower on the table, and then slowly opened the curtains of the office's confinement. Under the light, he couldn't see any trace of Ash, even the pair of I don't know when the portrait was taken down by Ash.

Thom thought for a few seconds, then turned his gaze back to the window.

The mountains outside have been covered with a white veil, and they seem to be integrated with the sky from a distance.

"Good weather." Thom muttered, then turned around and looked casually at Ash's desk.

He saw a key...

He suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. This should be, the key to that drawer...and Ash...he wasn't there.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand towards the key, but he quickly thought of Ash's calm face, this damn guilt... He struggled a bit, but he also thought of his parents.

Sorry, Embers.

He picked up the key silently in his heart, then quietly walked to the table and squatted down.

Wait... He pulled out his wand as if remembering something, if, if someone really came... then I can only do it.

His meaning was obvious, he held the wand in his right hand, and carefully held the key in his left hand and slowly inserted it into the second drawer.

He remembered it clearly.

"Clap."

It wasn't the sound of the door, it was the drawer. Som took a deep breath, and he slowly opened the drawer, revealing the contents...

An ornate pocket watch, a notebook, a quill...and a stone.

"Huh..." He looked at the stone, and his breathing subconsciously increased. It was the first time he was so close to this stone, the Sorcerer's Stone.

It was also the first time he was so close to being out of the Dark Lord's control...

He stretched out his hand and picked up the Sorcerer's Stone with a slight trembling. He clenched the stone tightly, as if he was a little scared. His wrist trembled slightly and touched the edge of the table, making a slight noise.

He glanced at the door subconsciously. For some reason, he always felt a sense of crisis, a strange feeling... But he didn't hesitate, but carefully held the Philosopher's Stone tightly.

The key to life is in my hands...

"Phew!" Woka stood at the door of the office and took a deep breath, then smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes. This is Professor Embers!The most reliable professor at Hogwarts!
Woka fixed his hair, and slowly touched the door of the office.

"Miss An Luo?" Binns looked at Woka strangely, "Who are you?" His voice looked tired.

"I'm here to see Professor Embers." Waka waved to Binns slowly, and then shook the note in her hand. She was a little afraid of the ghost professor, so her voice was not too loud.

"Exactly." Binns nodded, he pushed his glasses, "I have something to do with him."

Woka nodded, then stretched out his hand and pushed the door. It was amazing that the door was not locked, but was pushed open with a "squeak".

"Embers taught..."

"Passed out!"

"Ah!" There was a scream, and the brown curly short hair slowly fell to the ground, and the paper was also slowly flying like the heavy snow outside, and the brown Hufflepuff scarf was raised high, like a flower. Dark clouds obscured the corner of the hallway.

Binns subconsciously let go of the things in his hand, the notebook was scattered on the ground, and the slate he was holding also fell to the floor and slowly slammed on the floor like molecules, and made a lot of noise.

He looked at the black-haired man squatting by the table in shock, as well as the wand and the Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

The assailant's black wand was still glowing with red light, reflecting Somme's surprised and hesitant expression. It was obvious that even the assailant did not expect that the target of this spell seemed to be a girl……

In the corner of the office, Ash's indifferent face appeared slowly, with no ripples in his dark green eyes, and the blue wand in his hand was facing Som directly.

"Avada Kedavra."
